Configuring Google Maps

Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst provides the option to enable Google Maps content using a Google API Key and a Google Client ID. The administrator (admin) provides the Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst user with the API key or Client ID to add Google base map layers to Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst.

If the user is not authenticated (guest access is enabled, and the user has not signed in to Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst):

• If an API key is available, it will be used for loading Google Maps
• Otherwise, if a client ID is available, it will be used for loading Google Maps,
• Otherwise, no Google Maps support will be loaded.

If the user is authenticated (the user has signed in to Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst):

• If a Client ID is available, it will be used for loading Google Maps,
• Otherwise, if an API key is available, it will be used for loading Google Maps,
• Otherwise, no Google Maps support will be loaded.

If guest access is used internally within an organization, then customers should still obtain premium plan licensing. Spectrum Spatial™ Analyst must be available freely and publicly to comply with Google’s standard licensing terms.
